Without a doubt you’ve probably heard this saying before. No matter how big or small the problem, it’s literally impossible to solve it without evolution. Perhaps the most incredible implication of this is that all we truly have to do to change our lives is to change the attitude we have about ourselves. While this most certainly isn’t easy, it is absolutely possible. Today we’re going to explore how tapping into your spirituality can provide the fuel to change your mind and ultimately your life.

Today I’m once again joined by my lovely wife to wrap up our incredible experience at Rythmia Life Advancement Center. In our recap of our final ayahuasca ceremony, we talk about all the traditions working together to guide us down our path. I touch on the mysterious path that led me to Rythmia in the first place and how it only further illustr ...…

Let’s just be honest. I can’t work with everyone. Yes, I’m a coach who strives to get the best out of every single person I come in contact with, but that doesn’t mean that everyone I come in contact with reciprocates that feeling. The truth is that if I’m showing up for you in the elite capacity that I do, then I expect you to honor that same ...…

Paul is a man on a mission to change the economic future of this country. In 2008 during the financial crisis in the United States, Paul saw a major opportunity to educate the next generation to create new financial opportunities. Through the creation of PagnatoKarp Wealth Management and the non-profit True Fiduciary Institute, Paul is making m ...…

Bias is inherent. With the way we are raised and the tribes we associate with throughout our life, it’s nearly impossible to eliminate bias from our lives. Our experiences form preconceived notions, especially when dealing with new and novel situations. As you listeners know, I recently interviewed adult film star Kendra Lust. Leading up to thi ...…

Have you ever had one of those days where you weren’t feeling like yourself and then life takes a huge shift? Today was one of those days for me. You see, we all succumb to paralyzation through comparison. I’m not immune to this either. I can’t tell you how many times I attempt to discredit myself simply from looking at the social media platfor ...…

The biggest thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful is that successful people utilize fear as fuel to initiate change. Back in March, 12 chose to face their fears and join me in Columbus. After the incredible success of the first Life Optimization Experience, I’m excited to announce the second installment of this life changing ...…

Today I’m joined by my incredible wife Lindsay on our seventh and final day to wrap up our experience at Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica. This episode features a deep dive into both of our ayahuasca journeys. Lindsay talks about some fears and personal boundaries she had to get over during the course of the week. Beyond that, we d ...…

As I mentioned in a previous episode, I asked that the medicine show me how to create the biggest impact. After I communicated what I saw with Gerry Powell, he was left with a grin on his face. It became clear to me that Rythmia is the place that will help me to create the largest impact on the world. I know that I can guide people down the pat ...…

After all this time, I realized that I’ve never told you the listener that I love you. Since the podcast launched more than a year ago, I’ve been on a mission to create the largest possible impact I can in the world. Today I recount how my final experience with plant-based medicine brought me the answers. This truly changed my life and brought ...…

Today I’m honored and truly blessed to be sitting down with Gerry Powell, the founder of Rythmia Life Advancement Center. To call Gerry’s story fascinating is an extreme understatement. After battling addiction and drug issues, Gerry found his way to plant medicine as a last ditch solution. It was during this experience that the foundation for ...…

Have you ever felt as if the modern world is simply too busy for you to be able to focus on what really matters? Being in Costa Rica and experiencing the effects of plant based medicine certainly has me feeling that way. We all seek these eternal sources of validation, when what we’re seeking has been with us the whole time. On the fourth day o ...…

We all seem to be searching for something. Afterall, that’s the reason I traveled to Rythmia in the first place. I arrived in Costa Rica looking for answers. Seeking out the merging of my soul and the healing of my heart, little did I realize the answers have been in front of me all along. Today recaps what I’d call one of the most impactful mo ...…

Welcome to Day 2 of Rythmia week! Today I recount the first of four ayahuasca experiences. After thinking that I simply slept through my first experience, listen to find out the impact that came on the backside. Speaking of the backside, you’re not going to want to miss the ridiculous story that came out of my first colon cleanse. I’m guessing ...…

As any of my long-time listeners know, I’ve long been intrigued by the potential benefits of plant based medicine. Today begins a seven day journey where I catalog my weeklong trip down to Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica. As you’ll come to see, there’s so much more to Rythmia than simply plant-based medicine. Needless to say, I wa ...…

Have you ever wondered about your partner’s past relationships? I think it’s pretty natural for any new couple to be inquisitive about what happened previously, but be careful what you wish for. If you aren’t secure in yourself it could create some unnecessary problems. If you happen to be open to the information you receive, it can not only he ...…

Where in your life are you holding yourself back because you’re you’re afraid to give? If you’re living in that state of mind, you are stuck in a scarcity mindset. A mindset of scarcity will prevent you from getting to where you want to be because you’re never opening yourself up to receive. Don’t take this as me chastising you, I’ve been there ...…

On today’s episode, I was fortunate enough to travel to Detroit, MI, to interview the incredible Kendra Lust. I’ve personally always been incredibly curious about the mindset of what inspires or motivates someone to get into the adult film industry. While we touch on her career in the industry, we spend quite a bit of time talking about how her ...…

As the saying goes, if you fail to plan then you should plan to fail. Sometimes when I get an idea, I get a little over anxious. This is no more true than when I came up with the idea to launch a 10 Day Challenge. With Costa Rica bearing down on me as well as my existing responsibilities as a coach, it wasn’t exactly the best time to take on bu ...…

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit off. Truthfully, I feel like I’m not doing enough. Even with the podcast downloads, the social media following, the books I’ve read, client testimonials, and the ever growing coaching practice, I’ve been feeling a sense of lack. Given everything I just stated, how would I ever believe I’m not good enough? It’s bec ...…

Sometimes being hard headed isn’t the best or smartest thing. When I first jumped into the coaching space, I started with a platform that didn’t let us automatically release videos on a daily basis. Why does this all matter? It meant the team was spending literally hours every day manually uploading videos. But still I found myself resisting ch ...…

Today one of the most impactful messages I will ever speak. It just so happens that this is also one of the few times I’m going to direct an episode strictly at the men in the audience. What I have for you today is an exercise that will increase stamina, performance, size, and truly every measure in regards to your prostate and sexual health. T ...…

This past weekend I had one of those days where I was just off. Not only did I feel it, but Lindsay noticed it as well. Call it stress, call it working too much, call it whatever you want, but my energy wasn’t the same. To be honest, I just started worrying about what would happen if everything came crashing down. What would happen to our famil ...…

It’s incredible how much things can change in a year. A little over a year ago, we moved into an office space that was literally an empty concrete box. Since then, we’ve painted the floors, built a podcasting room, built a set for shooting videos, had graffiti done on the walls, and much more. When it comes down to it, we’ve been investing mone ...…

Today I’m joined by Taylor Sappington, an Integrative Health Practitioner whose main goal is to optimize your body through proper food, correct supplementation, and treating each person's bio-individuality rather than treating everyone with the same protocol. During this incredible podcast, Taylor discusses her time as a fitness competitor, her ...…

Coffee might as well be a religion for some people. The ritualistic nature many have created around this small black bean is honestly quite astonishing. I’ve never really enjoyed coffee much, but I’ve tolerated it based on the known health benefits that come along with it. Recently I’ve been exposed to something completely new and exciting that ...…

Coaching has truly blessed me in so many ways. Above all else, the lessons I learn from my clients on a daily basis have helped me expand my own mindset. In this particular instance, my client was sharing an issue in his life involving his children. While initially it seemed as if there was nothing good to be gained from the situation, when we ...…

The last few weeks have been off. Sometimes when you listen to the podcast it might sound like everything in my life is good 100% of the time. I get it. I’m always looking to put out an uplifting message and put a positive spin on any event. It just hasn’t been true lately. When looking to expand the Life Optimization group and our overall capa ...…

When opportunity knocks, go ahead and let it in. Have you ever wanted to be a part of the team at Life Optimization Group? Today might just be your lucky day. We’re seeking a few specialists to help continue growing the brand. If you have any experience with copywriting, email marketing, LinkedIn marketing, public relations, and more please ema ...…

With Easter going on this past weekend there was plenty of the expected. Family time, Easter egg hunting, candy (not for me) and much, much more. There was, however, a brand new tradition ushered in by Lindsay and I. Once all of the family hubbub had died down, we decided it was time to relax a bit before bed. In what some would consider an odd ...…

In today’s world, too many people sit on the fence. They waffle back-and-forth instead of making a declaration and going with it. What ends up happening? Nothing. Without a declaration, they stand stagnant, trapped in limbo between what they want to do and the fear of what others will think. Today I discuss why declaring that really big goal th ...…

Dan is the owner of State of Mine Apparel, a Columbus, OH based clothing company featuring Ohio themed product. Dan and I have been great friends almost immediately from the day we met. He has tremendous experience from running his own business as well as working in family businesses growing up. Beyond business, we connected over an affinity fo ...…

Let me preface this by saying I’m not a Psychiatrist, Psychologist, and I don’t hold any specialized degrees. This episode about what drives every decision we make and everything we do is solely based on things I read and personal beliefs. What’s strange about the ego is that the things that bother us the most tend to be the things we want the ...…

What do you do when you feel you’ve given all you can give? Well, there’s a simple answer: give more. Today that’s what I’m here to do. While there’s been a number of listeners that I’ve had the pleasure of working with in a one-on-one capacity, I realize that perhaps I’m not reaching everyone I can. Listen to today’s episode to learn about an ...…

News flash. I’ve been lying to you the whole time. Shocking based on my past, right? To ease your fear, I can promise that it’s not what you think. I’m speaking on the fact that I actually do have this personal development space figured out. It boils down to one simple word: commitment. Commitment to a purpose is all you need to be able to achi ...…

I’ve pounded this message home over and over again on this podcast. Consistency is the key to accomplishing anything. As we sit a full year after starting this podcast, I must admit that I’ve been lying to you. I haven’t put out content for 365 straight days. In today’s episode, I briefly look back at how far things have come over the past 365 ...…

It’s no secret by now. You probably realize that Lindsay and I pride ourselves on living a challenge based lifestyle. There might even be the self-created perception that all we do is go-go-go 100% of the time. I’m here to breakdown that notion once and for all. After being at the office late Friday night and sleeping in Saturday morning, the p ...…

The universe works in mysterious ways. Have you ever thought about the events that need to take place in order to create a “coincidence?” It’s truly mind boggling. In today’s episode I unravel one of these divine occurrences that recently happened in my life. It was the meeting of past and present when an old friend from nearly 15 years ago unk ...…

Today’s guest is a special treat for multiple reasons. Not only is Dr. Buffington one of the top chiropractors in the city of Dallas, but he is one of the key reasons why I’ve arrived where I am today. He is someone who at one point or another has been a coach, a mentor, and a friend. Today we learn how Dr. Buffington has managed to grow his pr ...…

Where in your life is something so readily available that you’re currently taking it for granted? Whether it’s family, a well-paying job, or our health, it usually tends to be the things that are closest to us. For me I recently discovered my thing was food. From fast food binges to eating too quickly, I took the accessibility for granted. I wa ...…

When looking at social media and seeing all of the polished people and pretty pictures, it’s easy to feel like you don’t have enough. It’s easy to feel like everyone has more money, a better body, a better looking spouse, a nicer car, and so on. It’s easy to think that every story has been told, but the truth is no one’s told your story and no ...…

Are you trapped in the gray space? I’m talking about the area in life where no actual answer exists. It’s the place that ultimately destroys us, because instead of owning ‘yes’ or ‘no’ we find ourselves stuck in the’ maybes'. It's the land of lost dreams, lost hope, and lost time. Committing one way or the other will at the very least solidify ...…

Most of us start new endeavors with the best intentions. Even with strong intentions, it can be easy to venture off the desired path. Looking back I realize there was a stretch of consecutive episodes where I made several asks for you to either join a group, come to an event, or sign-up for coaching. Most recently, I recorded Wayne Dyer week as ...…

If you’ve ever wanted to spend some time with Lindsay and I to further your own personal development, I can’t imagine a better opportunity. April 27th - May 5th, we’ll be traveling to Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica. For any long time listener to the show, you’ll be sure to recognize the name from the interview I did with Brandee ...…

Sometimes it’s hard to find the correct words to title a podcast. If it’s not obvious at this point, today was a challenge. It’s no secret by now that I recently hosted an intense experience for 12 special men. After reviewing some of the posts on the group message board, I was once again overcome with immense gratitude. While I hoped this even ...…

Today on the show I have Frank Llosa, the founder of KetoneAid. Frank and I take a deep dive into the fuel source behind KetoneAid known as ketone ester. Ketone ester has helped world class athletes reach peak performance and recover for years. This includes everyone from powerlifters, top cyclists, NFL athletes, and more. If you’ve ever wonder ...…

Journaling has been a powerful tool in my life for the last several years. Little did I know how powerful it truly was. While preparing for the Life Optimization Experience, I stumbled upon an old journal of mine. Incredibly, within this journal was a 3.5-year-old plan to create an intense, immersive event in Columbus, OH that would change peop ...…

As many of you know, I recently completed the Life Optimization Experience. Following this incredible event, I was completely overcome with joy. Not only did the event turn out better than expected, but I learned a rather important lesson in the process. While the event was put on to help other people, ultimately the experience was for myself. ...…

What are you thinking right now? Is that thought helping or hurting you? Most of the thoughts that weaken us are derived from two sources: shame and guilt. Hanging onto shame and guilt over events from the past do nothing but bring us down. When we’re stuck in the shame and guilt of a past event, we never have the opportunity to live in the pre ...…

You are a divine creation of God. Inherently, that statement might turn some people off. Whether you believe in God, infinite intelligence, fate, or any other spiritual body, we are all derived from a higher power. So why aren’t we making a greater impact in the world? Something, or perhaps someone is blocking you from seeing everything that yo ...…

Have you ever had someone question your motives? A little over a year ago I decided to dive head first into coaching. To say I received push-back is a bit of an understatement, and the same can be said for Lindsay. People questioned our credentials, asked us who we thought we were, and probably hoped we didn’t succeed. Friends, family, it truly ...…
